Are there others like me...

[Dorrie]

who have a weird obsession with their scale????!!!!
I am not kidding..I think I am nutty...
I get up in the morning and go pee then before coffee get on the scale to see how I am doing.....then I get on it again to see if I weigh in the same.....then I turn it around from spot to spot on the floor to see if I weigh less in any other position....if the needle is out even a fraction I have to fix it to exactly 0....then weigh myself yet again. It is always great if I happen to need to "go" to the bathroom...you know...a "BM"...then I may just be a little lighter!!!!
I get on the darn thing over and over through the day and it is so incredible how weight fluctuates so much....
anyway....just wondered if I am not alone in this kooky obsession???

Ah, yes, the lovely scale addiction. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways....

I was like that the first 2 weeks of Atkins. Then I had my mom hide the scale. I looked for it too! I seached up and down and all around- NOTHING. Finally, I gave up. We went to my grandmother's house the next week. I found the scale. I weighed myself and was more excited to see my weight than any other time I had weighed myself before. You are not alone.

I don't worry about the scales - I am pleased each 6 weeks when the 6 week challenges come to an end and I take my measurements. Measurements don't lie the way scales do. There are too many variables in weighing over and over -- I don't need the aggrevation. Once a month I get on the scale - usually the 1st of the month -- every 6 weeks I measure -- other than that I don't care!

I tried not to weigh myself today but gave in...of course it had not did anything but go up...I should know better.
You are so correct Carole...scales do lie!!!!!!
I am trying to get to the point where I can ignore them and just let the magic happen!!

I am the opposite. I am afraid of my scale. But sometimes talk myself into weighing because if something is off, I won't know. I do measurements here and there. That's a whole different beast for me. I don't do keto sticks either.

Btw, Betty..that's a beautiful picture!

I am thinking about letting hubby take the scale and put it in his trunk for the week. We are on the 3rd floor of our building and his car is not just out side the door but a ways away...I will have time to talk myself out of getting it if I am craving a weigh in!
Now if he could just keep all the food out there too!!!!!

I'm completely obsessed with the scale too. Then again i'm on day 13 so I hope it will subside. Getting someone to hide it is sounding better and better...
